Yes, there are so many pretty decorative grasses that would give that look.

We use the same arched awnings for the windows in the back of our incred-i-box. That way you can leave the windows open when it rains.

I've seen solar that doesn't attach to House. It is in a tall stand in the shape of a flower and in bad weather it coils itself closed and goes in the ground storm passes it comes back up and opens and follows the sun! That's a cool solar system that protects itself.

Hey Randy and Amanda. You are doing an amazing job!! When you build the lodge, consider having a laundry room, a community kitchen, etc. How about a community garden, composting area, maybe a shared library/media center?

Again!!!!! another great fun, interesting and informative video. The Mayor of the Beach has really dolled up the little backyard. Love the fence and plants. I would want a 10' porch on my place like this lady did. I can picture hanging ferns and such and some canvas curtains tied at the polls and let down when the sun is too bright or you just want privacy. Wow People buy you a Tiny home from Randy.

Love the beach house with fencing, porch, and tiki bar!

Love the houses you showed. The incredi box was done up nice. Love the other house. Mike house is amazing, love the painted concrete, makes it look like real sand. His house looks like it's at the beach ⛱️.

Keep in mind that any tree you plant into that mounded dirt won't be stable for mamy years until root system grows diwn through to harder soil. It you have a significant wind event, the trees may end up on top of nearby structures or vehicles.

There are solar panels that come in different colors that work with diffuse light. They can be used as windows, too. Look up diffuse light solar panels. They are really expensive at this time. I found out about them when gas prices went up to $4/gal after G.W. Bush invaded Iraq. I'm waiting for a day when these colored solar panels are made to look like stained glass creations. ;)

Looking good! Love theses houses!!

Your living your dream Randy. And it is awesome. The Abingdon is just too cute!!!

Hi Randy & Amanda,🙋 Great video today, glad to see Mayor Mike ,busy as always 😊 beautiful model home tour ❤️ Have a great day ❣️🙂

Mike's place looks AWESOME ! Love what he did there. You know they could put a Sofa Bed in the Cottage house. The Sofa Beds they have now are easy to open and close. Really like the bath tub in the tounge box space as well. Really there are so many Options with these homes.

I love all the ideas you guys are throwing around to move the whole tiny house movement. ❤️

This home has a unique lay out. Hope the owner will let you video after they settle in it

The sliding glass door put the perfect view and natural lighting inside. The deck I love. I wish I could have one. I wouldn't need nothing else. I live in Las Vegas with someone else.

Hey Randy n Amanda, It's going to be so nice there. Oh I see Ace going under the Abingdon, That guy's place looks so lovely. I love it there, Thank you 3 for everything you do.hugs n love you all 3.

I like the look of this house, with the wood on the bottom half and the stucco on the top, and with wood trim around the windows and doors. Love the large deck on the end with the sliding door, I would put decking on the side to the deck. Also love the long window over the sink area, and the big sliding doors to the covered porch. Also love the big sliding windows to go with the sliding doors. Put some pull down screens when you want some screens, or outdoor curtains, that you can open up or close. A picnic table on that deck and some outdoor furniture will be nice on that deck. Love the size of that deck. This is one sweet house. She has a really nice neighbor, in Mike. You all need a big pond behind the houses. I love what Mike has done with his lot, and the back yard. He has gotten a lot done. Love the colorful bench and the shark, and the TIKI Bar over the hitch, great idea. Love that triangle cover with the lights. The sandy color on Mike's concrete is a great idea, like being on the sand at the beach.

Awesome 😎

I've been busy these past couple weeks so I haven't had time to watch the videos and BOY have I missed you guys! 💕 Now, it's time to binge a few and attempt to do some catching up because I'm still very much in the market for a tiny home. 😊

Love the random bricks in the stucco. The entire area around the front door is such an attractive feature!

Interior wood is beautiful! My dream tiny house, hopeful for the future!

It is amazing to see such visionary ideas that Randy has and also ideas concerning supportive communities.

I was born and raised in Michigan too, my Dad was German descent and my mother Hungarian. We always vacationed in Northern Michigan every summer, tent camping with 5 kids. We loved it. At age 29 though, after i graduated from Nursing School we moved to Texas, DFW area. When I retired we moved 100 miles west and live in cattle country. I love it.

I like that idea Randy. Sounds great and sustainable.. I really want to see the new Mountain location and Buffalo Creek too. I bet the Grove is coming along wonderfully..

I grew up in Western Michigan and I hated it from November to April for all the gray, ugly skies. I lived very close to Lake Mich. ( like within 2-5miles from it) where ever I lived, so we always were dealing with lake effect snow and clouds. It was hell for me because I have S.A.D. ( seasonal affective disorder) and need sunshine. I finally, very briefly moved to Montana, which I adore because if how sunny it was and the mountains just speak to your soul and change you for the better. However, no matter the love affair with the mountains, I just totally couldn't handle the cold (like -55 with wind chills like -70 or more). So Florida here I come. I finally found "home" here. Wonderful sunshine, and plenty of water and beautiful Sandy beaches that are best in the world. All I need to do is find a place where tiny homes are allowed and built to the rigorous standards necessary to meet hurricane standards.

Mayor Mike - since you are an artist, consider using pink board (rigid closed-cell foam) panels for your skirting. It comes from Lowe's in big sheets that are easy to cut with heavy duty sheers or an electric bread knife, and can be painted. You could make it look like your house sits out over the water on a beach! ⛱️

@@CapysGardenShop - I can see why! It's super easy to work with. A 4'x8' sheet that's 1 1/2" thick has an R value of 7.5. It's solid pink on one side and all the writing is on the other side. It's pre-marked to cut in half lengthwise, for 2'x8' panels, and an Incredibox would only need 3 panels at $42 each for 2' tall skirting. Just spray or roller paint the outer side, and install.

Ps…mayor mikes outside looks great👍

The bathroom looks very accessible! Roll under sink is awesome! I’d have a bed that has a motorized lift so the bed is elevated above the living room during the day and lowers at night. They have them in toy hauler RVs. I have also seen people use a garage storage mechanism for a bed that moves. For me, I would need space for a craft room. Love the aesthetics of this home!

As a landscape designer let me help you with the palm situation. Sago palms are not actually real palms. They are conifers and one of the oldest plants on earth. They grow painfully slow and reach up to only about 8' in a lifetime. A truly hardy palm that grows tall is the Mexican fan palm or Washingtonia robusta. They are hardy to about 15 deg. They can suffer damage but as long as their root system is okay they'll survive.

This one is adorable. Reminds me of the Cinderella styles of late fifties
